LPS Focsani - Rc barlad

Cazimir Nicolae Grigore is brought down hard! The defence are all over him, but he's holding on in hopes of support arriving. The ref blows for a penalty to LPS Focsani. You just can't hang onto the ball after you've been tackled like that.

Simon Heath had a chance to put two points on the board, but he seemed to hurry his conversion attempt and pushed it wide.

69

Superb work there by forwards and backs alike! Orsino Pirraglia sends the ball to Simon Heath who carries it on before passing on to Andrés Fajardo. He spots that he has an overlap outside, draws in a defender and then passes to Emilio Pani. There's nobody between him and the try line, and he sprints in for a well-worked try.

68

Simon Heath takes the kickoff, launching the ball high into the air over LPS Focsani stadium. Orsino Pirraglia positions himself well, and takes the ball in the air right in front of Avraam Bivolaru. Good hands from the LPS Focsani player there.

66

Boris Br& Frć judges the wind well, and the ball splits the uprights for another two points.

Rc barlad's scrum half digs the ball out of the ruck and runs with ball in hand. He skilfully dodges Niko Milinkovi?'s tackle and the slips the ball to Cazimir Nicolae Grigore. He attempts a quick flick pass to Manuel Iancu, but he doesn't get the ball under control. That was an unnecessary bit of showboating. He was under no pressure there, and now he's squandered possession. At least he has the decency to look upset with himself!

62

Scrum for LPS Focsani. It's a good feed, but Rc barlad put in a mighty shove. They're pushing LPS Focsani off the ball. They've taken one against the head. Fabulous work by the Rc barlad front row!

61

Rc barlad have an overlap on the right. Looks like they've spotted it too. Felix Budeanu fires a quick pass off to Ronan Tialata who flicks the ball on to Manuel Iancu. He's rushed the pass though, and the ball evades the grasp of Orlando Andrés. That was a good scoring opportunity gone to waste.

Good lineout for LPS Focsani. The hooker finds his man perfectly, and Firmino Cavatorta wins the ball in the air.

52

Nice breakthrough by Felix Budeanu who gets low and charges. He cannons into Luis Clavet like a stampeding bull, but Luis Clavet wraps him up and manages to bring him down. Looks like we finally know what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

51

Turnover. Rc barlad now has possession and the backs are ready for a new attack.

50

LPS Focsani's scrum half is smashed by Agaton Panait Verdeş. That run was so telegraphed that the postal service want to charge him for it!

49

Ruck. LPS Focsani get the ball from that one and their scrumhalf can be heard frantically giving his instructions for a new attack.

Boris Br& Frć takes the kickoff, launching the ball high into the air over LPS Focsani stadium. Firmino Cavatorta positions himself well, and takes the ball in the air right in front of Avraam Bivolaru. Good hands from the LPS Focsani player there.

It's not been the best start for the home supporters, but still plenty of time for them to find something to cheer about!

Try time!!! The Rc barlad scrum half, Agaton Panait Verdeş, senses an opportunity as Niko Milinkovi? is the only defender to his left. He throws a massive dummy left, jinks right and dives over for an easy try. You'd think players of this level wouldn't fall for that kind of trickery!

38

Rc barlad have stolen LPS Focsani's lineout ball! Mose Beer mistimed his jump, and Orlando Andrés got his hands to it first. Good work by Rc barlad at that lineout!

It looks like LPS Focsani lost the ball in the ruck. Their forwards weren't quick enough to protect the ball.

31

LPS Focsani have an overlap on the right. Looks like they've spotted it too. Niko Milinkovi? fires a quick pass off to Konrad Mielcarek who flicks the ball on to Andrés Fajardo. He's rushed the pass though, and the ball evades the grasp of Sean Dinnerville. That was a good scoring opportunity gone to waste.

26

There are players smashing into this ruck from both sides.. it is a real contest for the ball. Eventually the Rc barlad players gain the upper hand and the ball emerges slowly on their side.

21

Inside LPS Focsani's 22, Felix Budeanu sees Ronan Tialata running flat out into a gap and delivers a deft pass. Simple try there. LPS Focsani's defense needs to pay more attention when they are backed up against their try line like that.

20

Rc barlad have retained possession as their players were quick and picked up the loose ball. They'll be able to attack again

It looks like LPS Focsani lost the ball in the ruck. Their forwards weren't quick enough to protect the ball.

Oh no! There is chaos on the field as the players start a punch up after a high tackle by Mugur Amihaiesei on Faustino Marsillo. The referee seems happy enough with the challenge though and signals play on. Somebody better tell the players to put their handbags away.

Oooh! That's not a good kick from Simon Heath, i'm not sure it will make it to the ten meter line..The crowd here at LPS Focsani stadium hold their breath..
Charles Deacon takes the ball just inches over the ten meter mark. Simon Heath got away with that one after all!

18:56

As the players finish warming up it is looking increasingly like we'll be seeing showers later!

They'll be celebrating on the bus tonight! A great away victory for Rc barlad!
